Should I buy this used arcade ?

It's Hori's flagship arcade stick for the current generation, the Fighting Stick Alpha. From my experience, roughly 60% arcade sticks on the second hand market are in "like-brand new" condition with less than 10 hours of total use to them. If you buy this arcade stick, you wouldn't really need to do

Whats a decent ps5 fightstick thats around 200 dollars?

Nacon Daija (almost always on sale for $200) Qanba Obsidian 2, Qanba Titan, and Mayflash F700 Elite is what I would look at. They all have Sanwa parts, which is the standard most people go off of as a baseline. You could also get a cheaper, smaller stick, like the 8bitdo fightstick (I prefer the Swi

Any good arcade sticks for the ps5?

There's a good selection for current gen but you gotta remember that retail/officially licensed peripherals are usually one console (and backwards compatible) + PC in terms of compatibility. Because of the growing trend of leverless/all button styled controllers, it's pretty split to even selection

Not enough buttons on fight stick to run training effectively

This game is only a 5 button fighter. How many macros are you running smh lol? The Qanba Obsidian 2 (my stick) is a 8 button stick with L3 / R3 and a touch pad. I can map effectively what I want. All of those macros are eating up your button real estate. However, if that's how you play, it is what i

First stick

For what it’s worth; I’d go for the Qanba Obsidian. My favorite sticks are the Madcatz Te2+ and the Razer Panthera. But the Obsidian for 160 is great! And then I’d use the saved cash for modding in silent buttons and a spring for the joystick to help add a little tension / weight to the joystick lev

Looking to upgrade from my Qanba Drone 2, what would you consider to be the best FightStick for PC/PS5 fighting games

For what your asking there are a few choices Budget option The Qanba Titan: little bigger then the drone and it's comes with Sanwa parts you can usually find it on sale for $149 USD. Mayflash F700: Heavier then the Drone 2 but not as wide and you can customize it with custom art. Can usually be foun

Stick recommendations for Marvel Tokon

If you are very specific about how your lever feels to the point where you would probably want to swap it out, don't get the FlexStrike. From what I can find, the FlexStrike will more or less feel like a standard arcade stick with mechanical switches instead of traditional microswitches though from
